    Scale model of Savannah
    Julia M.

    Great museum! As an architect, I was so excited to see the scale model of the city and learn more about the architecture and urbanism of Savannah. Richard, who worked at the museum, was great and shared a lot of info with us about the exhibits, Savannah's history, and his personal experience. Very fun and interactive exhibits (great for kids), however, to reduce contact in Covid, some of these things were off-limits. Admission was $9 for an adult.

    Tickets to this came as part of my tour pkg, I had no idea what this even was but something prompted me to get off that tour bus at this stop. This was Savannah's first free public school and at the end of the Civil War it was used to educate newly-emancipated slaves...wow. They let you take pics and try on the costumes. It's a self-guided (my kinda tour) and it's interesting to see. They had separate courtyards for the boys and girls and they have an interactive exhibit on the transformation of architectural syles. It was a pleasant surprise.

    I had such a great experience here during the Holiday Tour of Homes!! The staff was knowledgeable and incredibly friendly. I appreciate that the Heritage Center exposes an inclusive level of Savannahs history. Educational History, African American History, Native American History, Historic Preservation, Architectural History, the Oglethorpe Plan, Maritime History, and so much more. It's so awesome that Chatham County Public Schools are able to visit for free once per year. I will absolutely bring my friends and family! #MassieHeritageCenter #iGotSchooledatMassie #HolidayTourOfHomes #Savannah #VisitSavannah #ThingsToDoInSavannah #SavannahHistory #GeorgiaHistory

    Whoa, I was not prepared for how amazing this place was!…read more When we first arrived I thought it would be just kind of a silly tourist trap thing, but boy was I wrong! It is a very large collection of everything spooky, odd and strange! There are entire rooms focused on serial killers, such as Gacy, HH Holmes and Richard Ramirez. We were in there for a very long time and learned so much from the women running the tour. There was even a guy in our group who had been childhood friends with one of Gacy's victims, which was incredibly surreal and really hit home how real all of this was, and not just entertainment. They also have, or are going to have, another location in Chicago which is very exciting and I would definitely seek that out next time I am there. All in all a 10/10 experience.

    This museum was MUCH bigger than I anticipated. We spent about an hour and a half and easily could…read morehave spent another or so in there learning and listening to the gals educate the group. There was so much to read, so much to see, and so much to experience. This is a very dark museum so if you have a weak stomach, are faint of heart if easily disturbed I would not recommend. Even still you are heavily warned about what is in each room should you not want to see or experience something by the staff. They were so helpful!! Their regular price is $25 OR $50 for a two day pass, tshirt, tote (or a pin), and sticker. Absolutely great deal if you're wanting some merch. Very spooky, eerie, and overall an interesting time!

Honestly, I visited since I had some time to kill and they participate in the Bank of America Museums of Us program, which provides complimentary admission to cardholders the first full weekend of every month. While I do like art museums, modern art is generally not my cup of tea despite my many attempts to keep an open mind about it over the years. For a college/learning institution-based museum, it's pretty middle of the rung in its offerings. You can easily cover all the galleries within 10 minutes to an hour depending on your level of interest. They have a section of bells, which I found very unique. All of the staff I encountered throughout the museum were friendly, and the ones in the bell section were happy to ring bells upon request so guests can hear the resonance. While I wasn't overly impressed with the modern art on display, I did enjoy my short visit, and would recommend the SCAD Museum as a rainy day activity in Savannah to those who appreciate smaller museums focusing on modern art.

At the last minute, we scheduled Sistah Patt's Tour, and honestly this is by far the BEST ONE, and we did several here and in Charleston, while visiting from California. Sistah Patt is incredible and inspirational, fact-telling, and is currently in projects in Savannah, bringing proper recognition and truth-telling. I wish I had done a little research on her, as I did after leaving her tour...oh my, I probably would have asked so many more questions, I had no idea of the advocate she is. Let me leave you with this: Who in Savannah can change a Squares name, from Confederate Vice President (Calhoun), to Taylor Square, to honor Susie King Taylor, born into slavery, who became the 1st Black nurse to serve in the Civil War and later open a school for African Americans in Savannah? YES, Patt Gunn Can, and it happened only 2 years ago! This is the Tour you will want to do. This is the "Remarkable Woman" you will want to share/ask/listen to.

    The Savannah History Museum has so much potential. Savannah is the first city in Georgia, the first…read morecapital of Georgia, the first planned city in America, the site of Georgia's largest revolutionary war battle (Siege of Savannah), the terminus of General Sherman's Civil War March to the Sea, the birthplace of famous Americans like Juliette Gordon Low, Clarence Thomas, and Flannery O'Connor, the site of over 2500 historically significant properties, and is an American cultural staple (Forrest Gump, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, ghosts, etc.). Strangely enough, the museum instead chooses to lead with exhibits like "1920s dentistry," "wildlife of the barrier islands," and "steam locomotives." When patrons finally get to the Savannah exhibits, the confusion intensifies. The exhibit on Savannah in WWII predeceases the exhibit on Savannah in the Civil War, and Savannah's revolutionary war history is told out of order. Perhaps the worst curation atrocity is that the museum's most famous piece, the "Forrest Gump bench," is behind a glass case. Really? The whole point of museums is interacting with history, and something as sturdy and repairable as a steel bench is a perfect "interactive exhibit" piece. Imagine how much more museum goers would enjoy their experience if they could get their photo taken on Forrest Gump's bench (perhaps even with a wax Tom Hanks sitting on it too!). Forrest Gump was released in 1994 and that bench won't be worth more than the steel its made with in 40 years--no reason to keep it behind a glass case. America is teaming with museum curators desperate for employment. The average SCAD Museum Studies major would froth at the mouth for an opportunity to curate a history museum for such a storied city like Savannah. Please bring in a professional to renovate this museum and have it live up to its true potential.

Most exhibits contain basic factoids with a few "lesser known" facts sprinkled in. If you're looking for something to do that won't take up much of your day (this would be a perfect stop to get out of the rain or heat) this is a great place to stop. Pricing is relatively cheap as far as museums go and they offer discounted tickets for other museums/tours affiliated with them if you're looking to do more than just the museum. Parking is on site and super cheap!
